Vagoth

I went back through the regional maps that I have made and named a lot of locations and such.
This post details the homeland of the people known as the Vagoth.
This small kingdom represents the norm for Vagothians.
They form small kingdoms along the coasts of Sutheimr and portions of the Sellevolk, Beorgumende, the Skaldborg Eylands, and Northern Brython.
It is the kingdom of Vagoth that these explorers, settlers, and raiders have taken their name from.
For these are the lands that they first saw upon their arrival during the 3rd Shedim War almost 1,200 years ago.
The current king of Vagoth is Hilmr Haldordr (King Haldordr).
Two great nobles have sworn allegiance to him; Jarl Nordbjorn and Jarl Vakauder, along with many lesser nobles and freeborn.
In total, this small kingdom has a population of 2,987 souls (Per the King's records) and a Fylking of 995 warriors. (Note: A Fylking is a Battle-Host)

The other two great nobles control their own lands but owe allegiance to Haldordr.
Most of the Vagothian kingdoms are arranged such as this with a king and great nobles sharing power.
Some even elect their own kings.
Hilmr Haldordr's lands hold 1,128 souls and a Fylking of 376 warriors.
Of the three, he has the largest population and Fylking.
Hilmr Haldordr is well respected by all of the Vagoth and is well known for his truthfulness and honor.
Hilmr Haldordr's stronghold is known as Heimstod.
His lands are also known for the religious sanctuary at Horgrvatn, one of the holiest sites within the collective realms of the Vagoth.
Many visit this site to bathe in the lake's cold waters.
The island of Godrtun also belongs to his lands.
His lands consist of 852 souls and a Fylking of 284 warriors.
Jarl Nordbjorn is a old but well respected warrior who is famous for killing one of the great white bears of the north in single combat.
It's great hide adorns his throne in his stronghold of Risna.
He is also known for his great hospitality and good nature.
His small realm is mostly known for the wide valley that is filled with the Veidrmadr Holt (The Huntsman's Woods).
The Island of Nordriey also belongs to his lands.
His lands consist of 1,007 souls and a Fylking of 335 warriors.
Jarl Vakaudr is a master ship builder and many nobles come from throughout the many Vagothian kingdoms to bargain for his ship building skills.
He loves the sea and still goes raiding with his nobles or even the nobles of other lands (with Hilmr Haldordr's blessing of course).
His stronghold is known as Langskip.
The Islands of Markey & Hoftun also belong to his lands.
Markey is uninhabited and the Hoftun is populated by a Godi farmstead (Godi are priests).
Thanks

Hunting, farming, and raiding is the life of the Vagothians.
Vagoth is a barbarian paradise!
But,
What lives in the next valley north of Njordborn's realm?
What dwells in the upper valley in the eastern Veidrmadr Holt?
Why is Markey uninhabited?
What god(s) do the secretive Godi worship on that private island of theirs?
And,
Hilmr Haldordr is the upholder of truth and honor, but his children? .... Not so much.
(Remember - there are always adventures to be had - you just have to know how to get into trouble - Ha, ha!)
